Creating Container Objects
Naming Container Objects
Try to keep container object names short and simple. This makes it easier for
users to change context and to remember their own context.
Table 2-3 Container Objects You Can Create
Container object Description When to use it
Country Designates the countries where your
network resides and organizes other
objects within the country.
You must always include the name
type of the object in complete names
when you include the Country
container object in your Directory
tree. Even when you refer to objects
located in the same container object,
you must designate the name type
(CN, OU, or O) of the object.
This object is optional.
If you choose to create a Country
object, you can use it to represent the
country where your organization
headquarters resides or, if you have a
multinational network, to represent
each country that is a part of your
network.
You can create a Country container
object only under the Root object.
Organization Allows you to organize other objects
in the Directory, to set defaults in a
login script, and to create a user
template for User objects you create
in this container.
You can use an Organization object
to designate a corporation, or
location, etc.
The Organization object is
mandatory. The Directory tree must
include at least one of these
containers.
You can create an Organization
object only under the Root or
Country object.
Organizational Unit Allows you to organize leaf objects
in the Directory tree, to set defaults
in a login script, and to create a user
template for User objects you create
in this container.
You can use an Organizational Unit
object to designate a division, a
business unit, or a project team.
You can create multiple levels of
Organizational Units.
You can create Organizational Units
in Organization objects and other
Organizational Unit objects.
